To be grown up

'your travelling but at the same time you haven't left home'

 This quote is from Paulo Coelho's book Aleph and it is a quote that makes me think about how safe and confident I feel when I have my mum by my side and when she's not there, I'm lost, I'm like a deer in the headlights and can't talk to people or do things by myself. My mum is my comfort blanket.

I so desperately want to be grown up and independent but to me, to be grown up doesn't mean having a job or a house and paying bills, to be grown up to me means feeling confident in myself, being able to speak to people with wisdom and authority in my voice to get what I want. To be grown up means having an opinion and being heard, it means standing up for myself.  
All the things I feel I lack and struggle to accomplish.
But I realise this and I see that I need to be brave and be more independent if I'm ever going to move on with my life, achieve all the things I hope to achieve in my life and feel like a confident, mature, independent, capable adult woman who knows who she is, knows what she wants and knows where she's going. It's time to finally grow up!

The things that matter.

                 We are so blind to what God has put in front of us, so distracted by the materialism of this world and by our own shallow existence that we have become more concerned by our own vanity and how we look and our outwardly appearance. Our lives are mostly centred around living a glamourous lifestyle, centred around fame, money and possessions, centred around sex and relationships, centred around reputation. Our lifestyles today are about keeping up with the joneses, being the toughest, being the best, w e've forgotten to see the beauty around us.  We've forgotten that we are beautiful with or without make up, inside and out. We've forgotten that fame is when we are idolised by our children, our friends and our family, knowing that whatever we do we will always be stars in their eyes.  We've forgotten the riches of life, the simple pleasures that cost nothing but mean the world - a  heartwarming hug, a passiona...

Gods love

  He loved his disciples, he loved them as you love me. He protected them as you protect me. He guarded them as you guard me. He told them many things as you have told me many things. He gave them his word as you have given me. He loved them as you love me and I love you.

Dark days!

          Sometimes we think the Lord will never bless us. We have lost hope, have given up, are stuck in a rut and can't or won't move forward and given up even trying. Some of us give up on our relationships, give up trying to make things right, give up on having a better life.  We all have dark days, days when we just can't seem to get anything right, we all suffer from broken hearts, loss, go through some really difficult times in our lives but it's important to struggle on and fight, to never crumble but to be strong and remain in christ. There is always a light at the end of the tunnel.    We may choose not to notice that God is blessing our lives because it's easier to live like there is no hope, it's easier to put the blame onto others, blame society for our failings so that we don't have to  look to ourselves to see how bad things are. We choose to deny the good things, we choose to ignore the positives, we choose to be blind to Gods...
